Flirt4Free Wins Best Live Gay Cams at AW Awards

WESTLAKE VILLAGE, Calif. — Flirt4Free announced that it has won the Best Live Gay Cams honor at the AW Summit and Awards held in Mamaia, Romania.

The company was a Platinum Sponsor for the Summit and a third time sponsor of what it called one of the largest events for webcam models and studios. Flirt4Free said it attended the expo to connect with partners in Eastern Europe and to educate models and studios on how to make the most out of their time on its website.

Jamie Rodriguez, broadcasting manager presented “Cam Secrets Revealed & Internet is a Fetish” on the show's model track. Nominated for Business Woman of the Year, Rodriguez said she was excited to attend the Summit for the first time. “Our Romanian models and studios continue to be an integral part of our network. The show gave us a great opportunity to continue to build these relationships and learn from them what they need from us to find success online.”

Vice president Brad Estes, who spoke on “The State of the Industry” panel added his thoughts. “Romania is an important market for our company and we were delighted to participate in the AW Summit again this year. The studio operators, trainers and performers in this region continue to impress in their passion for the webcam industry and their commitment to providing a top quality product for our customers.”

Flirt4Free noted that a new element added to the Awards show was a sophisticated voting system. Flirt4Free said it was honored to be at the forefront of this event, winning the Best Guys Camsite award as well as their model, Chris Aron, winning the Best Male Performer of the Year.

“For many webcam companies, male cams are a niche or more forgotten part of their product offerings. At Flirt4Free however we put equal time and attention into what we provide to our male models and their customers, and as a result our male models make us much as our female models and their customers spend more than anywhere elsewhere. It was extremely rewarding to have these efforts towards male cams be recognized and see one of our top guys get acknowledged for his achievements as well,” Rodriguez said.

Eddie Bastian, senior account executive took part in the seminar on “How to Build a Live Audience for a Cam Show.”

"It was an honor to win Best Gay Cam Site at this year's AW Summit. We couldn't have done it without all of the hard work from our Flirt4Free team and we look forward to another great year," Bastian said.
